Let's see I'm sure he's talking about. I'm assuming he's talking about the The primaries there we can false Tamboa's withdrawal for a Tico says PDP acted in bad faith But faith rather a Tico has not been served says media aid and PDP spokesman keeps mom I think this time is the time when the spokesman would be refusing to pick journalists phone call They do it a lot when they don't know We haven't turned our rangles in the party. All right, we hurry security guards killed in ambush buried. This are the The guards of the brigade of guards who were killed in Abuja They are not the president's direct personal guards.

We take a look at a daily trust newspaper Looking at a daily trust newspaper. I think that the headlines this morning are really very interesting They have some sense of I really don't know if to say it's an irony or some sort of Sackism right there and this says we won't use force to rescue abducted trained victim That's what the president is quoted to say, but you know, those who abducted these persons actually use force now You know, the president is quoted to say we won't use force, but those who kidnapped Citizens, I mean those law-abiding citizens who go about their businesses taxpayers were abducted using force and some of them We're not sure But we can't use force, you know to rescue anyone or You know those who've been abducted we can't use force because if we use force it would trickle down to affecting The terrorists themselves. That's what it means. Okay Meets release victims as neutralizing terrorists won't stop. We can't afford ransom families quoted to say presidential guards killed by terrorists buried Amid tears Made your soul continue to rest in peace very saddening Governors protest over four hundred and eighteen million dollars Paris Club deduction baseless This is what the attorney general of the Federation is quoted to say not going back and tell you hike and cause Data finance minister is saying hey, Nigerians.

I don't know what's going to happen I don't know what's going to happen. I don't know what's going to happen The federal government rules out into ferrums in the quorum address trial. These are the headlines on the daily trust you speak The last paper on a table is a nation the big one there a PC vice chair Northwest governors behind tenable says look bang no discordant tune in drooling party while long Won't resign as campaign DG some are saying that he's a Christian and since the party has a Muslim Muslim ticket He should resign. Of course. He made some reference to the Pope and a group known as consent Catholics of Nigeria I've said says that and the college has to suspend him and he should Attend the public apology. They're not even sure he's a Christian. He's a true Christian. So they want to investigate No sorts of drama, you know, well, let's move on. Let's move on now We have more from the the nation government won't interfere in a quermados case No going back on 5% telecoms tax says federal government Minister aware of duty when the minister says he's not aware, you know, when the minister says he's not aware You know what he means. Um, I wasn't informed. I wasn't carried along Military arrest to a swap King Pains over what attack Buhari in Nigeria must get 2023 census, right Hopefully Governors objection to 418 million dollars Paris Club refund may annoy says Malami Okay, don't forget it was also an issue of Disagreement at the last fellow executive council meeting the likes of Raji fashella and the boss Mustafa raising their voices against them this proposal by Zainab Ahmed who Has been getting low publicity for wrong reasons these days. Malami. They both said we should be the skin and prove how to redraw these But we'll look at that as we go on terrorists creating parallel government in Kaduna I will fight tells Buhari. All right This is a real fight who told president Buhari that the interest had issued a threat to kidnapped in the breeze The president was not aware, you know, so he had to tell him I'm sure he's telling him another one present may not be a wealth Presidential guards killed by terrorists buried and then Loma proposes 50% tariff hike. All right I think that's the way to put it. This is not present. Why is personal, you know guards, but I'm PDP crisis I won't quit party ex hotels. We can it's becoming a hilarious drama Seven Yahoo boys jailed in a bottle 30 70 year old beheaded in church really sad one But let's bring GD Johnson at this point GD Johnson is a senior lecturer and Nigerian sort of journalism GD Johnson good morning to you once again Yeah, I can only predict that's all these headlines we making you shake your head, you know But but let's start with the one that came out yesterday in a boujah at Asurok villa the president met with some of the representatives of victims of the Kaduna a boujah or the a boujah Kaduna train kidnapping the AK AK 9 kidnapping. This is on the front page of the daily trust We see the headline on the front page of daily trust says we won't use force to rescue abducted train victims So the president met with the representatives of families and I listened to what he said, you know And also read the transcript of his statement released by Garba Shayhu the president said that Several proposals were made to the federal government as to how to rescue these kidnapped victims and their lethal You know methods that were proposed and after careful consideration The government decided not to they decided reluctantly Against using these lethal methods But he says that he wants to assure the family members that they're doing everything possible to release them that Looking at the recent You know victories of the army, you know in terms of the fight against terrorism and all that So my question to you is if the president is saying They don't want to use lethal methods because they want to ensure that there is no collateral damage At the same time saying that the military is attacking terrorists and having successes And he showed that the armed forces can release these people How exactly do you think the president intends that the armed forces will set them free If not through force Because The president has used that that's nice Not For to understand But the president has the same Same prayer saying that the military is winning the war And at the same time not interested in using force to rescue The citizen does not Does not Think well does not shoot most systems as far as I'm concerned even for the identity of the Of the victims to be selected to go and visit the president in Nassau Because that don't make sense You mean you should have been you know, you should have been the president Or That you have come to see the victims In your respective In your respective homes or respective cities or whether they are gathered In Cardinals team government loads or you are ever aware these big things Or in a group that are doing these big things to be selected and for them to go to So but that's the theory God when the some members of the chief of guys who are taken to Nassau do a shift to Nassau law And president go on them that's that's our approach to things Our approach to things is that our president are larger than life. They are larger than the citizen that employed them They are larger than the city that have voted for them So this will go and see them in their policies. They don't come up with you the citizens in their in their name So that's that's my thing on that because what better means that you use to send signals to the security to the terrorists Other than to use marginal force in ensuring that We We It's as simple with them. That's that's my take on that and besides And we see rescue missions by the world nation And first the world They are American they are the americans taking the Jews within huh, east of Nigeria, and they come to Morocco or Tunisia And they came to Nigeria to rescue the american the american they were thinking as those things There was not the same collateral that came in and we have a city in our own country We are the first we have a meeting you couldn't do that. It talks about the failure Of of military intelligence. It talks about the failure of the security agencies That we have in Nigeria. You see you lead us to you to the studio of the world pride Complaining that them terrorists has formed Parallel government In the government can come out to see terrorists has formed parallel government in Karnan What it doesn't should have done is to declare a state of emergency Is it an emergency? I mean declared in Karnan state We have an administrator is appointed so that Numbers in law and order will be restored back in Karnan state But what do I know? I don't know anything about security as far as those that are Served in military and you are serving in military All of us that have not been to military school or not been in military have blood is leant and we do next to nothing About military operation. We do next to nothing about intelligence garden And Which is the pure job we do as journalists as journalists what we do is to gather and tell you the process information And that's the key element of security agencies gather information process information when information is processed the processed information is what we call intelligence that you can make sense out of it and And I don't think we are making sense out of the information we have collected from From terrorist here All right, G. Day. Let's also look at the daily trust. It talks about security and on this note 1755 terrorists surrender and 29 killed in two weeks. This is what the military is saying Do you think that this is a rational thing? the fact that you have Which prisoner they put in them They are surrendering. That is not that is not saying that they have Being arrested. I mean to surrender is like you give it up. The time for In in in war situation the time for you to be arrested is you surrender The time that being annihilated you you submit your arms And you raise up your hand you have surrendered That's the time so they they are meant to be to be arrested and To to be to be put in detention until the judicial process Is put in place for For their case. So who are these one are 17? Seven one I was on seven 15 people that have been arrested. Who are they? What are the identity? We are the out Or we are the detainee These are all the use that we need other than for this But the ministry of defense to come out and be giving us figures giving us figures figures that We can't ascertain the authenticity of Of the figures. So what are the identity? Can we get the identity of these people? We are what they are. We are what they Yeah, they surrender at which front I don't know. I don't I just don't know. I just so I so are you saying so are you saying that this you don't believe You know this report of the military What I'm saying is that it's for them to validate their claims I'm not saying I don't it's for them to validate it validate it with facts They've been handed according to the report. They've been handed to The relevant authorities members and families have been profiled and they've been handed to the authorities correctional correctional facility the police award These are because what we need in the fight against there is it is clarity Come in is so clarified when you clarify issues it becomes played becomes transparent and it becomes understandable to the larger public Maybe the government is just taking time. So they don't make the mistake just as it happened recently You saw the fact that akiridulu has come out to see with the name that was published. There was a mistake the name, you know those Those who attacked a name that was found and published as an attacker of the or an escapee Of the kujie prison attack was also Named as one person that was arrested as a person who attacked the or Or church. So maybe maybe the government is taking this time to accomplish the identity But but don't you think that this might just be enough to public the identity of Boko Haram terrorist But the massacre government was quick And the images of of of the allies of them We are asked for terrorists all we have been seen is numbers Before they used to be dependent now they are surrendered Surrendered Terrorists Jimmy Johnson is he's not having it this morning. You know having this is all the mess he can do to convince you It's been quite interesting. Um, I mean it's uh, it's uh, I've been I've been wondering what what exactly would the president do Um for for for these people You look at the fact that these these release kingdom victims who he met with none of them was rescued by the government No, not even one You know and each of them most of them when they come out what they say Is that oh, please we have to need the government to help rescue Uh, our colleagues You know shigumi is the one who had to looking at the video footage of the flogging He now said, okay, let's help out the families the family of six the two parents my my papa And then the four young kids who are there We said the senator was he was instrumental He didn't tell us what I am around someone was paid But if a senator an unknown senator was instrumental in helping facilitate then I think we can put one and two together Then they also released a 60-year-old man Or because of her health failing health, you know, I don't know how shigumi is from that video was able to tell That the man that was being flogged had those kids But well that's what happened and each and the man is a is a worker He's a member who works with the national assembly service commission and he said Nobody from national assembly did anything to help him officially the national assembly did nothing to help him Didn't say anything about his plight Neither the national assembly service commission say anything about his plight if it's to do contribution, you know Also to go and pay for his ransom. They didn't do it Real that they sent representatives to london to go and watch a career career model, you know, I mean, you know Answer his father's name. So these are the things we're seeing. Um, so so, I mean we'll keep watching this space But I understand why um, uh, I guessed uh You know, I'm saying it's not it's not having any messy. Um this morning I did a job, so please let's move on to another story And the one that interests me is the one on the front page of the the nation We start with wiki and artiku a wiki has finally Gone to gear two And wiki does not do anything without first strategizing. I can tell you that He has sued artiku and tamu all his demanding recognition as candidate. This is the headline, of course The writer to that the paper says the governor is asking the court to order a neck to remove artiku's name from the candidate's list What did you see that coming? Well, I after the primary is our I was on this to Analyze artiku step it out and I couldn't without this that is open to the Vision but as far as I'm concerned, I think it's too late for wiki to adopt This strategy now if you have done that shortly after the power that's That's that's my take on that. He had the legitimate right to challenge the process because as far as I'm concerned that process was on It does not conform with with best practices when you talk about Convention convention and party parties because in contestant cannot come After pitching for votes cannot come after I need the same platform to see that he has stepped down and his accidents Is it's Delegate to vote for social science to present? Maybe he therefore requires that, uh, you know It will be a process where we would begin to make legislations and make laws to ensure that All of this, you know does not become an issue Yes, we can hear you Yes, please go ahead If you have used For the second time to reach for another candidate every other candidate deserve the right Um Deserve the right to come and use that platform That's the truth. It's like the player has been substituted in the football match The player has been substituted and the player that has been substituted is allowed to come to the field of play To join to join to join his team to play against or that and that's It should have done that earlier the first week the second week and I think a lot of Steps have been taken within the party My my advice to go now it is for him to learn from the experiences of his of his predecessors from river state They've learned to take When it comes to no, look Just quickly as we go because we have to go now Gda Johnson I'd like to ask you. Do you think that this case is actually a legal issue or is a morals issue? Is is is both the legal issue and the moral issue Can be possible The proof the process the process you are talking about the process What's the process is cloth? It can be talent is a flood process So would there be laws that would back this particular that's what it because that would be the argument We're not trying to pre-empt the courts or the tribunal now, but we'll just say The timing is for me. She'll have done that earlier than now and then That issue will be looked into and I'm not too sure about the permission of the electoral law because I see There's a there's a time limitation to when you can go for pre-electual The electoral matters with the electoral up of 2020 I mean we're looking at the issue of contention here the bone of contention not the time frame We're looking at, you know, what transpired now. Do you think it's a legal issue? I mean there are laws that would back this or it's just a moral thing that you say morally This is not right or the law actually stipulates, uh, you know, the electoral act or the constitution It is is about the process The process is for the courts to determine whether the process is fair or unfair You know, I'm talking about the fairness of the process So it's not what it costs. It's well less for me to approach the court and then the court, you know what It's like the illustration I get to you Under nomads circumstances If that's your up when they put both game the other thing will be disqualified All right, you know, so we have to go we have to go we have to go Yeah, but you you said it all, you know, there's a legal issue here and that Uh, you know a few wikis as we're seeing this time, but um, and maybe you should know on the estimate wiki when it comes to You know the courts he is his record or track record. It's quite impressive. I mean Look at the governor who was able to able to able to defeat the federal government when it comes to vat My take on this is very simple We get to go back home and look at whereas To it's this essence in the river states Okay, I've come to the national stage. All right. We have to go. We have to go. We have to go You've said it all Thank you, Jimmy Johnson Thank you. Thank you because of time we have to go, uh, but it's been a thrill having you You know analyzed with the papers with mercy and myself and we look for having you again Next week like mercy reminded us thank god. It's friday. You know, like you usually say thank you for your time Yeah, you're welcome. You're right. All right Anyway, we have to take a break now. We'll be back with more analysis Of course we're looking at uh some amount of money the federal government has recovered Of looted government funds. What exactly is this money being used for? They used for over right back
